Frequently Asked Questions

How does learning Spanish through reading work?
Reading gives you vocabulary in context — the way children naturally learn their first language. Eppika adapts real bestsellers to your level so you always understand 95–98% of the text, which research shows is the sweet spot for natural language acquisition.
What level do I need to start?
Complete beginners start at A1 — our simplest books use around 500 common words. Each story is graded to match your level, so you're never overwhelmed.
Are these real books or AI-generated stories?
Real books. We adapt bestselling novels and non-fiction — titles like The Little Prince, Atomic Habits, and One Hundred Years of Solitude — into graded versions that preserve the story while matching your reading level.
How is Eppika different from Duolingo?
Duolingo teaches through gamified exercises and flashcards. Eppika teaches through reading real stories — you learn vocabulary in context, which research shows leads to better long-term retention. Many of our users use both.
Can I really learn Spanish by just reading?
Extensive reading is one of the most researched methods in language learning. Studies show readers acquire 5–15 new words per hour of reading. Eppika adds tap-to-translate and audio narration to accelerate this.
Is Eppika free?
You can start with a free trial to explore the app and read your first stories. After that, a subscription gives you unlimited access to our entire library of 120+ adapted books across 5 languages.
What languages does Eppika support?
Spanish, English, French, Italian, and German — with Spanish having the largest library at 120+ titles across all levels. More content is added every month.
How much time do I need per day?
Even 10–15 minutes of reading per day builds vocabulary and comprehension. Our stories are designed for short reading sessions — read a chapter on your commute, during lunch, or before bed.
